New Continental Extreme Contact DW 255/40 19 tires on my nickel wheels (2011 Mustang GT Premium). I thought the new size might have some negative issues (sidewall bulge, look small in wheel-well, vibration, speedometer, etc.). I'm happy to report that I have NONE of these issues. The tires look amazing on the nickel wheels (19 x 8.5), the steering response is quicker, and the feel is great. I'm very happy with my upgrade. Ford Country in Henderson Nevada was awesome, they price-matched the tires (Tire Rack), no shipping, mount & balance, and they recalibrated my speedometer and TPMS. Total price out the door was $1150. I highly recommend this tire size upgrade to anyone with nickel wheels (obviously not for cold and snow). And to be extra nice, Ford slapped on my Shelby GT 500 axle-back mufflers for free! The car is perfect now!

 

Awesome man! Glad it all worked out for you. These will probably be my next tires when I get around to rebuilding my 2000. They look good and I'm super surprised a Ford dealer would match tire rack!

 

Have any further away shots so you can see the whole car?

 

Hi Patrick. Check my profile picture album for more pics. I'll get some new ones soon. Thanks, I just took a quick 300 mile round-trip, and these new tires sure do grip, and really low tire noise while cruising at 80mph.
